Real-time multi-technology scanning for weld seam geometry, undercut, reinforcement height, porosity and misalignment on ERW, HFI, LSAW and spiral welded pipe — plus X-ray TDI inspection for internal defects.
When pulsed eddy current fails, this system delivers. Designed for challenging welds where conventional methods produce unreliable results, it provides exceptional robustness and micron-level precision. The technology ensures long-lasting control by detecting macroscopic defects, monitoring scarfing quality and revealing internal flaws with X-ray TDI sensors. Unlike eddy current techniques that struggle with surface conditions or material variations, this solution operates flawlessly even in harsh environments. For pipelines, flat metals and coil joining, it guarantees repeatable weld assessment you can trust for zero-defect production.
